After making a name for himself as a writer/producer, collaborating with the likes of Ryan Tedder, Carly Rae Jepsen, Zedd, and Swedish House Mafia's Sebastian Ingrosso, New York-bred singer-songwriter and jazzmaster Matthew Koma steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of his Powerhouse first single, "One Night," a pretty sweet electronic-ish pop record, from his forthcoming debut LP, "Arcadia," due in US stores later this year. A day after, an accompanying video for song has premiere on Wednesday.
Produced by Twice As Nice, Tim Pagnotta and Koma himself, "One Night" is a fun and breezy pop number packed and it takes playful addictive sing-along melodies and combines with electric synths and a neon charged foot stomping chorus, that will have you singing along too, soberly or drunkenly. An inventive songwriter with a keen sense of melody, Koma has created a genre-bending sound by merging organic production with the left-of-center melodic finesse he's carefully honed through his work. It also displays his skill at writing lyrics that offer both raw emotionalism and a refined sense of imagery.
Koma, echoes the infectious stylings of bands like FUN., is an astute songwriting talent who is a savvy observer of life and has an incredible knack for melody. Whether it's a soaring vocal hook of an explosive dance tune or a touching pop ballad, Koma is a modern-day, genre-bending troubadour who knows exactly how to dose the emotional intensity in his music and deliver it with finesse and heartfelt gusto. "One Night" is a perfect example of Koma's expert songwriting savvy. With Interscope and Cherrytree Records by his side, Koma should have no problems breaking out with this sweet pop record.
Introduced by the whimsical sound of a xylophone, the song tells the playful tale of a one night stand gone sour with its sing-along harmonies, in-your-face beats, and breezy yet biting lyrics that show off Koma's clever storytelling. Directed by Cameron Duddy, the humorous clip for song sees Koma performing the song live for a crowd in what appears to be a small town fair, together with scenes of a group of teen girls and boys randomly getting into trouble with a sparkler and a gum bubble, which simply won't run their course.
